Proto rims

Got these under test now 20 and 24".

24" made from 6061 heat treated T6, 31.5mm wide 17mm high and are pinned and welded and have 8mm asymmetrical offset drilling. iv seen some rims on the market today with lots of hype about them but a rim with only a pinned or sleeved join will just not cut it, also being a rim for the street/park we also know that a rim for this type of riding must have a rim brake surface and not just disc only. You may notice that the rim does not have any eyelets, when we sent over the drawings to the makers we did specify eyelets but the 1st samples don't seem to have been fitted with them we have requested some more with eyelets fitted, ok they may not look as pretty when fitted but we are just not down with spokes being ripped out of our rims!

weight 20" 450g 24" 580g


We got them over in chrome as this is just my thing but color options will be available when we are happy with the end result of testing.
